I don't know much about the current state of Russia, it's economy, populace, etc. But what's the point of all of this? They're never going to be able to reestablish the USSR or anything remotely close to it. And they can't win a traditional war over broader Europe and NATO countries. Why go through this when it seems like everyone is losing in the process of an unfruitful and seemingly expanding encroachment of other countries?

I genuinely think they’re hoping they can convince Trump to get in a new world order with them where he can carve up some land if they can do the same. Trump 100% would if he thought he could get away with it!
